  • what is the opening or vent in the planet's crust?
    volcano
  • it erupted within the last 10,00 years?
    active volcano
  • it has not erupted within the historical times?
    inactive volcano
  • when rocks become hot and a substance, thin and runny gases can escape easily from it?
    magma
  • this serves as the reservoirs for molten rocks?
    magma chambers
  • it's a pathways for the magma?
    vent
  • this is molten rocks that oozes onto the earth's surface, can vary in temperature and viscosity?
    lava flows
  • this can travel significant distances from the volcano before SOLIDIFYING?
    volcanic bombs
  • lava dome grows over time as the lava accumulate
  • eruption columns has a towering plume of volcanic ash, gases and other materials
  • eruption clouds have billowing mases of volcanic gases, ash, and particles
  • tephra's magma is thick and sticky, gases cannot escape easily
  • it emits sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide acid rain
  • lahar mixes with water from streams or snow and ice
  • pyroclastic flow is a fast moving mixture of hot gas, volcanic ash, and fragmented rock
  • fumaroles are the holes, crack or fissures on the surface near volcanos
  • cracks can form due to tectonic stresses allowing magma to rise
  • it is a tall mountain with a crater on top composite volcano
  • flat and warrior's shield, it reaches a great distance from the crater
    shield volcano
  • cinder cones volcano form steep slopes around their wide crater
  • PIVOCS means?
    Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
  • crust is thin
  • mantle is thick, beneath the lithosphere
  • inner core is solid
  • outer core is liquid
  • this is the state of the athmosphere at any particular time, it is short term?
    Weather
  • this is long term, average weather of a particular part of the world at different times of the year?
    Climate
  • what is the wind trades in the Philippines?
    hanging habagat and hanging amihan
  • what is the causes of weather and climate?
    solar radiation
  • what is the cause of global warming ?
    greenhouse gases
  • climate change is the long term shifts in temperature and weather patterns
  • stars contain mostly hydrogen with some helium
  • High mass star have high energy and heavier
  • low mass is less hot and less massive
  • nebula is the clouds and dust of a star that is forming a new star
  • supernova happens when a star dies
  • blackhole forms when massive stars collapse at the end of their life
  • nuclear fusion is a way of getting stars energy
  • what is the patterns in the sky called?
    constellations
  • a pattern of stars that are not constellation. EX. big deeper is called what?
    asterism
